City officials announced Friday that they are watching the weather and might adjust plans for the Hopkinsville Veterans Parade slated for 10 a.m. Saturday. There is a possibility of rain and a thunderstorm, according to the National Weather Service forecast.
Tab Brockman, superintendent of Parks and Recreation, said a final call will be made at 8 a.m. and posted on the department’s Facebook page.
“If the morning radar and forecast is for heavy precipitation, or lightning, the parade will be scrapped and the ceremony will be held indoors at the War Memorial Building at 10 a.m.,” he said in a press release.
